Robertina B. Poet Free verse

A Woman Scorned

A women scorned I am..
Lies..
Betrayal..
Infidelity..
Manipulations..
Of which is..

Was once the love of your life..
Your beloved..
Love existed
Honesty existed
Respect existed..

A burning pain races through my entire body..
Firing burning pain..
A scorching hot fire ignites..
Flames so high..
When may I extinguish these painful burning fires of pain?
Intense it is..

I once had a burning desire..
A burning desire..
To live in sacred union..
A sacred union of unconditional love for one another..

Burning desire came into fruitation...
We were one..

Now..
The burning pain remains..
The fire no longer ignites..
As the flames to the fire are no more..
Sacred union dissipates.. 

All is gone..  

A woman scorned I am..
Pain persists..
Wounded like a wild animal..

Susan Gentry April 21, 2018 at 3:42 PM You describe the hurt and pain so well. It's a terrible emotional place to be and staying there for very long intensifies it, if that can even be perceived as possible. A bad place to be and your expression of it makes me grateful I don't have to be there anymore.

Charles Martin March 15, 2018 at 7:15 AM I like the powerful imagery and I hope that, in your life, you could again build something so artful and fragile.- -Charles Robertina B. March 15, 2018 at 9:48 PM Thank you very much for your feedback Charles! Well appreciated..

Susan Ashley March 14, 2018 at 12:16 PM A powerful portrayal of a woman scorned, Robertina. Your intense pain and harsh disappointment burns through your emotional lines of bitter sadness and despair. Your poetic voice cries weeping words of a devastated heart. I pray this is fiction my friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Robertina B. March 14, 2018 at 3:06 PM Thank you so much for your feedback Susan!!! I am very delighted.. I really appreciate it.. All the Best Susan!!

Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck March 13, 2018 at 8:31 AM This is honest and powerful. Direct yet ironic and nuanced. Did you intend to switch fruition into fruitation?
